In the News (Sun 2 Aug 15)

The term statecrown was particularly used in the Kingdom of England and its successor Kingdom of Great Britain to describe the crowns of Kings Charles II and George I that were worn on occasions such as the State Opening of Parliament.

Unless the statecrown of King Charles, the statecrown of King George was also used to crown him with, in preference to the heavier and older St.

When, because of its age and fragility, the StateCrown of George I was replaced in 1838, the new replacement crown was instead called the Imperial StateCrown, as was its replacement in 1937.

In the United Kingdom, the State Opening of Parliament is an annual event held usually in October or November that marks the commencement of a session of Parliament.

Then, after she takes on the Robes of State and the Imperial StateCrown in the Robing Chamber, the Queen enters the Lords Chamber and takes a seat at the Throne.

The Vice President of the United States and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the presiding officers of the Senate and House of Representatives respectively, sit behind the President duing the address.

Imperial StateCrown - the crown manufactured for King George VI in 1937, and modelled on an earlier imperial crown from the reign of Queen Victoria, used by British monarchs at state ceremonies such as the State Opening of Parliament.

A head of state or chief of state is the chief public representative of a nation-state, federation or commonwealth, whose role generally includes personifying the continuity and legitimacy of the state and exercising powers, functions and duties granted to the head of state in the country's constitution.

In parliamentary systems the head of state may be merely the nominal chief executive officer of the state, possessing theoretical executive power (hence the description of the United Kingdom monarch's government as Her Majesty's Government, a term indicating that the government is theoretically hers, not parliament's).

Crown proceeded with the construction of the towers and entered into license agreements with a number of commercial wireless telecommunications providers to lease space on the towers for their equipment.

In response, Crown and the State contend that the private carriers are entitled to share in the immunity already enjoyed by the state-owned towers.

Unfortunately, the Queen Victoria statecrown was often drawn in a weak, ill-defined style and later illustrators, presumably imagining that it was a badly drawn St Edward's crown, redrew it accordingly.

Prior to the accession of Edward VII (1902), the iconographic Crown was unregulated.

This is the official statecrown for Scotland and would replace the St Edward's crown on any peculiarly Scottish flag, or flag created under the authority of the Scottish Executive, such as the Scottish Fisheries, or a Scottish constabulary.

The British immediately began construction of "His Majesty's Fort of Crown Point." This extremely ambitious fortification complex contributed to the British conquest of Canada, the last French stronghold, and control of Lake Champlain as a communication highway.

Crown Point was occupied by General John Burgoyne's army in 1777 after the American evacuation to Mount Independence and remained under British control until the end of the war.

The ruins of Fort St. Frederic, "His Majesty's Fort of Crown Point," and surrounding lands were acquired by the State of New York in 1910.

The State and Crown oppose the application arguing that the zoning provisions do not apply to this construction, and in addition, the Town was fully notified of the location sited for the tower and it did not object in a timely fashion.

The State argues that due to its ongoing notice of the project, the Town's request should be denied as time-barred both in law and equity, and for a failure to state a cause of action.

On November 23, 2004, the state DOT wrote to the Town stating that it was of the opinion that the Town had no jurisdiction over this construction pursuant to an agreement between the State and Crown which is not subject to local zoning requirements.

The Crown Victoria badge represented the status of the Governor as representative of Queen Victoria in the Colony.

It is strange that the title "Imperial Crown" has been transferred from the "St Edward's Crown", to the "Tudor Crown", when the former is similar in appearance to the "Imperial StateCrown", while the "Tudor Crown" is not.

An image of the "Flag Badge" with Tudor Crown for use in Victoria, either on the State Flag (as shown), or within a dark blue shield on a white disc on the State Governor's Flag from 1901-53 was prepared by the British Admiralty in 1903.

According to Captain Joseph "Rick" Fuentes, Acting Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police, the arrests stem from the continuation of an investigation dubbed "Operation Catapult" conducted by the New Jersey State Police Street Gang Unit and the Division of Criminal Justice.

Additionally, State Police detectives uncovered a well-structured, clearly defined criminal organization with a defined chain of command and written operating procedures that include formal constitutions, by-laws, oaths and manifestos designed to direct criminal activities for profit, collect member dues and enforce discipline through violence and extortion.

The investigation was initiated and conducted by the State Police Street Gang Unit and presented to the State Grand Jury by Deputy Attorneys General in the Division of Criminal Justice.
